Venice: The Bacino looking west©

The drawing is very similar in size and style to that on the right, and trims the composition still further to take in only the buildings from Santa Maria della Salute to the Palazzo Ducale, Campanile and Prigioni. Moored in front of the Piazzetta is the Bucintoro, indicating that this is Ascension Day.
